A fellow found what appears to be an anti-tank launcher on his land in Texas. It took TPTB relatively forever to come pick the thing up.
Lots of questions over how it got there. I'll bet he really bought it at a gunshow. You know, one of those evil Texas gunshows where FA AK-47s are $39.95, and no background check is required.

Jarrette Schule found an old missile launcher on his rural property in Comal County near San Antonio.
Jarrette Schule was cutting down trees on his rural property Tuesday in Comal County north of San Antonio when he noticed a green metallic tube on the muddy ground.
“I had never seen it before,” said Schule, a 34-year-old Web developer. “I looked at it, and it kind of looked like a missile launcher.”
Schule took a closer look. It was a long, forest-green metal tube. A decal on it read: “Guided Missile and Launcher, Surface Attack.”
The discovery was the start of a surreal journey for Schule. Somehow, an unarmed anti-tank weapon — or a very good fake — wound up on his land at Beck Road and Kirk Lane in the Hill Country, miles away from a military installation.
